A vascular access device adapter allowing for interchangeable connections between separate components of a larger extravascular system while minimizing exposure to non-sterile environments in point-of-care testing and analysis is provided. The vascular access device adapter includes a body having a self-healing puncturable septum secured by an end cap by which hollow small gauge needles may extract or deposit fluid. The adapter device further includes an end cap enclosing the septum, the end cap having ribs which removably secure the adapter to the inner housing of a sample collection device.

Vascular access device adapter

An intravenous catheter device can have a probe with a selectively permeable distal end. The probe can be inserted through a catheter while the catheter is positioned intravenously to facilitate fluid flow into or out from the catheter such as by removing an occlusion or repositioning the catheter. Due to its selective permeability, the distal end of the probe can minimize the likelihood of the probe becoming occluded while it is inserted intravenously and may provide control over the rate of fluid flow into or out from the catheter.

Intravenous catheter device having a probe with a selectively permeable distal end

A catheter system may include a catheter assembly and a catheter delivery device. The catheter assembly may include a catheter adapter, which may include a catheter adapter distal end, a catheter adapter proximal end, and a catheter adapter lumen extending through the catheter adapter distal end and the catheter adapter proximal end. The catheter assembly may include a primary catheter extending from the catheter adapter distal end. The catheter delivery device may include a housing, which may include a housing distal end coupled to the catheter assembly, a housing proximal end, and a housing lumen extending through the housing distal end and the housing proximal end. A secondary catheter may be disposed within the housing. The secondary catheter may be configured to move distally through the catheter assembly in response to a fluid pressure provided by a fluid delivery device coupled to the housing proximal end.

Catheter delivery device and related systems and methods

A delivery device for delivering an instrument into a catheter assembly may include a housing having a proximal end, a distal end, and a slot. The delivery device may include a guide feature, which may be disposed within the housing. The guide feature may extend through the slot. The delivery device may include an instrument disposed within the housing and extending through the guide feature. In response to movement of the guide feature along the slot in the distal direction a first distance, a first end of the instrument may be advanced in the distal direction a second distance, which may be greater than the first distance. A second end of the instrument may be stationary with respect to the housing.

Delivery device for a vascular access instrument

A vascular access device may include a first lumen, which may include a distal end and a proximal end. The vascular access device may also include a second lumen, which may include a distal end and a proximal end. The distal end of the second lumen may be proximal to the distal end of the first lumen. The vascular access device may include an opening or a valve adjacent to the distal end of the second lumen and providing access to the second lumen. The vascular access device may include a first connector, which may be disposed at a proximal end of the first lumen, and a second connector, which may be disposed at a proximal end of the second lumen.

A fluid transfer device including a catheter, an introducer adapted to attach the device to a peripheral intravenous line (PIV), an actuator movably coupled to the introducer, and a catheter support movably coupled to the introducer. The catheter support is positioned between the actuator and the distal end of the introducer. The actuator moves the catheter between a first position disposed within the introducer and a second position where the end of the catheter extends beyond the end of the introducer and into the PIV. The catheter support includes a rigid or collapsible tether and a hub attached to the tether and defining a passageway. The catheter extends from the actuator through the passageway of the catheter support to the distal end of the introducer. As the actuator moves the catheter, the actuator contacts the catheter support and moves the catheter support with respect to the introducer.

An IV access device can include a needle hub that incorporates a flash chamber. The flash chamber can be used to provide visual confirmation of proper catheter placement within a vein. The flash chamber can include a path-defining structure to facilitate identifying whether blood is continually flowing into the flash chamber. The flash chamber may also be removable from the needle hub. In some cases, the needle hub may include a paddle grip that facilitates insertion of the catheter and separation of the needle hub from the catheter adapter.

Closed IV access device with paddle grip needle hub and flash chamber

A probe delivery device can include a probe delivery mechanism that facilitates advancing a probe through an IV catheter. The probe delivery mechanism can be housed within a compartment of the probe delivery device and can include a probe that extends from the compartment into a fluid pathway formed within the probe delivery device. A portion of the probe delivery mechanism can extend out from the housing to enable a clinician to advance and retract the probe. The probe delivery device may include a vacuum tube receiver or a connector to enable a blood draw or fluid injection to be performed using the probe delivery device.
